ABSTRACT

This viewpoint essay provides an introduction to the special section, ‘Lived Religions of South Asian Hindu and Muslim Women' and context on the issues for the readers. The section draws on the work of an interdisciplinary, international group and covers a vast swath from return migrant women’s locations within Hinduism and Islam in Bangladesh and India, to their experiences with religion in the U.S. and the Middle East. It also examines alternative, emancipatory Hindu traditions, and women’s struggles with India’s Citizenship Amendment Act. I provide an overview to role of religion in shaping anti-colonial nationalist movements, post-colonial national identities, as well as the rise of religious fundamentalisms in South Asia. I also draw on my own work to show how religion mediates out-migration, settlement, and community formation of South Asians in the diaspora and the contradictory impacts religion has on women’s lives. I examine how the diasporization of religion often results in a greater intellectualization as well as homogenization and can encourage both religious fundamentalisms as well as a recasting of religious doctrines to fit in with the culture and society of the new countries. Finally, I discuss the multi-directional relationship between religious exchanges among diasporic and home communities.

妇女与南亚印度教与伊斯兰教:在次大陆和散居国外的人

摘要

该观点文章为特别部分“南亚印度教和穆斯林妇女的生活宗教”以及有关问题的上下文提供了介绍。该部分借鉴了一个跨学科的国际组织的工作,涵盖了从孟加拉国和印度的印度教和伊斯兰教中回返移民妇女的所在地到美国和中东的宗教经历的广泛领域。它还研究了另类的,解放性的印度教传统,以及印度《公民身份修正法》所规定的妇女斗争。我概述了宗教在塑造反殖民民族主义运动,后殖民民族身份以及南亚宗教原教旨主义兴起中的作用。我还利用自己的作品来展示宗教如何调解移民,定居,散居地中南亚人的社区形成以及宗教对妇女生活的矛盾影响。我研究了宗教的外来化通常如何导致更大程度的知识化和同质化,并可以鼓励宗教原教旨主义以及重塑宗教学说以适应新国家的文化和社会。最后,我讨论了散居者与家庭社区之间的宗教交流之间的多向关系。我研究了宗教的外来化通常如何导致更大程度的知识化和同质化,并可以鼓励宗教原教旨主义以及重塑宗教学说以适应新国家的文化和社会。最后,我讨论了散居者与家庭社区之间的宗教交流之间的多向关系。我研究了宗教的外来化如何经常导致更大程度的知识化和同质化,并且可以鼓励宗教原教旨主义以及重新建构宗教学说以适应新国家的文化和社会。最后,我讨论了散居者与家庭社区之间的宗教交流之间的多向关系。
